I WHIRL INCESSANTLY

NAME : NEFELI KARYOFYLLI

AGE : 27

PLACE OF RESIDENCE : PALAIO FALIRO

BIRTHPLACE : ATHENS

ORIGIN : GIANNENA AND FTHIOTIDA


ON THE NIGHT OF THE PERFORMANCE SHE WILL TAKE THE TRAM FROM HER HOME TO THE SUBWAY STATION NEOS KOSMOS, GET ON THE RED LINE TO AKROPOLIS AND WALK THE REST OF THE DISTANCE TO COME TO THE HERODEION.



Nefeli grew up in Nea Smyrni and went to a private school in Palaio Psychiko.
She studied Sociology at the University of the Aegean in Mytilini, but always knew that she was actually looking for a creative job "where I could use my hands, my creativity and my fantasy. So I studied metalsmithing and opened with a friend a jewellery shop in the centre of Athens".

Only in school she read ancient drama and since then her favourite character are the Furies from Aeschylus’ "Oresteia": "an exogenous component that hunts you, but is also a part of yourself. At the end you are gonna get it from somewhere".
From Aeschylos's play she identifies herself with Prometheus "not because of the sacrifice he makes, but because there is a correspondence between his words and his actions".
